BloOmsburg w. Nanticoke.

The second game OF the Bloom and
Nanticoke series was played Saturday after
noon last at Athletic Park. Bloom winning
for the second time to the tune of IA to @.
The attendance was below what was ex-
pected, the price of admission keeping a
great many lovers of the sport away. Let
the managers Of the club consider the fol-
lowing prices of admission, gents 15c.'
ladies 10c., and report their decision on
their next posters. If the above prices are
adopted they will have twice the attend
ance they bad at last Saturdays game, pro-
viding they continue to play good clubs.
Why can't we have prices within the reach
of all and have good attendance, rather than
high prices and poor crowds
Our boys won the game in the second
inning through their opponents errors.
Bloom played as good game as has been
played here this summer. Hays, the new
catcher, won much applause and many
friends by his good catching and magnifi-
cent throwing 10 bases; with the stick he
pou nded the sphere whenever at the bat,
lifting it each time far out into the field
The work OF Heist in the box was as usual
admirable, striking out four men; the hits
made on him were nearly all of the
"scratch" kind. Sylvis at short stop did
noble work, covering a great deal OF
ground and making only one error, muff-
ing dew drop. The basemen, Ent, Shat
fer and Hagenbuch, played to win with
vim which has heretofore characterized
their playing. The out felders had little
to do, but when called upon to act, did so
a creditable mai nner, Winner. and
Bolce gathering in flies, while Housel threw
in his "cant on balls"
For the visitors nothing much can be
said. Mccoy was little wild but he did
well in his pitching; his support by Glib.
hons was poor; if better supported he
could have been more effective. The play
ing all around was rather loose. The
Bloom club has been playing good ball so
| far this summer and it takes good strong
team to down them.

Facts About Oysters.
PROMISE OF AN UNUSUALLY SUCCESSFUL
SEASON.

The oyster season, which opened Thurs
day, promises to be the most successful in
the history of oyster culture. Reports
from the oyster beds indicate a supply
never before equalled and planters expect
a rich harvest.
The best kind Of oysters to make their
appearance within the week are the Shrew-
burys, fat plump, and delicious; Rocka-
ways and Freeports. The season for Blue
points does not open until September 10,
as there is local law prohibiting the gath
ering of oysters from Great South bay be-
fore that date. 1t may be remarked that
the name "Bluepoint" is used by dealers
for convenience as term for any small
oysters to be eaten on the half SHE'LL but
the real genuine Bluepoints from Great
South bay, when in good condition, are
considered the finest for eating on the half
shell.
Prices for oysters will remain about the
same as for the last few years. The esti-
mated number of oysters used last year
was 1900, 100000. Of these 65 per cent.
was from the Maryland and Virginia oys-
ter beds, the remainder from New York.
The Southern oysters are not as good as
those that grow in Northern waters. 1t is
customary every year to transplant young
oysters from Virginia to Princes bay, but
the improvement is scarcely perceptible.
There is great trade of seed oysters be-
tween New York and the Pacific coast.
Strangely enough they do not grow natur-
ally in the Pacific, but oysters transplanted
there will breed and thrive as well as on
the Atlantic.
Despite the large increase of oysters
within the last few years, due to the method
of planting oyster beds, the supply is
steadily decreasing in proportion to the
demand. This is one of the problems at
present engaging the attention of planters.
North Carolina promiseO to be the great
oyster producing centre of the future. The
legislature of that state has adopted laws
bearing upon their culture similar to those
of New York. The climate and natural
advantages derived from the large number
of inlets, bays and sounds, which indent
that coast, are regarded as very favorable
for oyster culture.
A new association, called The Oyster
Dealers and Planters association, has beet
incorporated, its object being the protec
ton of oyster dealers and oyster beds, al
well as to decide and arbitrate difficulties
between planters regarding the boundaries
of their respective beds-a subject abou
which they are always quarrelling. 1t is {
state association and its province extends
over the oyster beds Of New York.
Its membership numbers about 3,0O(
dealers and planters interested in oystel
culture.
The association will seek also to regulat,
the market price Of oysters, and the size o
oyster baskets, making uniform scale TO
all. In the last competition has beer
sharp, and dealers have cut prices righ
and left thus making the profits from tn,
business very small as a rule.

George Harman, a grand child Of Doug
las Hughes, died Saturday evening from in
iuries received by the kick OF a pony. On
Thursday of last week he was leading one
of Mr. Hughes ponies to the pump at the
head of East street. After drinking water
the pony turned and commenced grazing.
The child holding to the end of the halter,
the pony playfully kicked up behind, s!rik-
ing him in the abdomen. A scream was
uttered and the pony ran up the hill toward
the stable, the child following. Soon after
reaching the house he was taken to his
bed, and complained OF great distress. An
examination showed that there were no
outward bruises and that the injuries were
internal. A physician was sent for and
everything done to relieve the little suffer
er, but to no avail. He fingered in great
pain during Friday and Saturday, and died
Saturday evening about 10 O'Clock. Funer-
al services were held at the house of Doug
las Hughes Monday afternoon at O'clock,
and interment in the Catawissa burial
ground. He was about 10 years OF age,
and had been living with his grand parents
for a number OF years, his mother having
died several years ago.

PAPER
PLATES
AND NAPKINS

Just the thing for picnics and
private parties, neat clean and
cheap; avoids the annoyance of
broken and lost dishes and nap
kins; no weight to carry. These
paper plates are largely used for
pie baking, and overcome the
objection some people have to
pies because the under crust is
soggy; the greatest degree Of heat
will not scorch them and by
greasing them pie may be
baked on them better than on
tin or earthen ware; the under
crust will be found perfectly
hard and crisp similar to the top.
Napkins are soft and pliable as
linen and will not fade unleSS

Many people living right In this town
know very little Of the beautiful spots and

many who do know II don't realize that 1t

so near the town, is very seldom visited by

the river hill Is really grand, the whole
valley being spread out before the view OF
the beholder. There are other high points
from which beautiful views may be seen.
From the Normal School the whole town
can be distinctly defined by the observer.
On moonlight night 1t is particularly
beautiful, the furnaces red glare adding
much to the scenery. Far in the distance
is seen the Catawissa railroad bridge
crossing the river. The Normal School
and its surroundings present beauties il
themselves. There are pleasant drives al
about the town, notably the drive up the
Espy road and the one along the river and
home by Rupert grove along the banks ol

The railroad thus far has not done the

1t is feared that another epidemic is about
to visit Plymouth. When the last victim
of the great epidemic of two years ago had
been buried the public demanded that the
town be severed and other improvements
in the sanitary co ndtion should be made.
But this was not done, and the streets re-
mained in the same filthy condition. Sever
al have already died of fever, probably re-
sulting from the unhealthy condition OF
the town, and more cases are reported
